Santos was already in negotiations to count on Rony in the 2026 season, however, the panorama changed for Peixe. THE Sporting News explains how the striker’s movements are going and whether he will remain at Atlético-MG next season.
Will Rony leave Atlético-MG?
According to journalist Guilherme Frossard, Sampaoli asked for Rony to remain at Atlético-MG, and a move to Santos may not be completed. The negotiation has not yet been definitively cancelled, but Galo will not easily release the attacker after the commander’s request.
Santos had obtained this Wednesday (24/12) the release of Atlético-MG to negotiate the signing of the player. Peixe spoke with the athlete’s staff to facilitate the arrival of the 30-year-old player.
According to ESPN, the player had been offered and the idea was well accepted at the club, as Alexandre Mattos likes him a lot and conversations were started. The idea is a loan, probably with an option to purchase after the period. The São Paulo team was trying to reduce the striker’s salary request a little, who has one of the highest salaries at Galo.
With the changes in the squad and after a year below expectations, Rony viewed the possibility of leaving with good eyes. In July, the striker went to court against Atlético to ask for unilateral termination of the contract, due to delays of more than two months in paying FGTS, in addition to gloves and other financial commitments. Then he withdrew the action.
